Opener contains sound from the Doctor Who episode “Almost People.” Music by the University of Rhode Island Ram Marching Band under the direction of Dr. Brian Cardany.

The chime is from RCP Tones. It’s been part of the Nerdist podcast since the beginning. See: nerdist.com/download-the-nerdist-podcast-ringtone/

I combined my favorite 11th Doctor saying with the Nerdist chime, and my favorite marching band song to date “Hold On I’m Coming” by Sam and Dave as done by The URI Marching Band.

Di’s Simple Rules of Life

Tags

creativity, Life, philosophy

I may not know a ton. Oh who am I kidding. I have two Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree. I know lots of stuff and things. 😉 Here are a few simple rules that might help make the world a better place.

• Saying hello and smiling at other will not cost you anything but will brighten the day of others around you.
• When people create things their goal is not to produce something shitty.  It is better to say “That thing is not my cup of tea” then to say “Gosh that is a big pile of dog shit.”  Sure it’s semantics but hey we are trying to build a kinder gentler world here.
• Unless you are a natural born genius, everyone sucks at the skill/talent they just started off doing.  For example, when I started playing the saxophone, I sounded like a dying swan.  Now I sound like a slightly injured swan.  The point is that it takes time and practice to become good.  We often don’t give people that chance.  I always try to be supportive of performers and artists.

What are some of your rules?  Answer in the comments below!

I’m in that picture somewhere! I honestly love being in that Ram Band.  We had band camp this week.  The goal was to learn pre-game and the first half time show.  We got though pre-game and 2 of the 3 songs for half time.  Overall it was a good week. The song of the week is Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Bach.  This song was featured in Disney’s Fantasia!

In this episode I talk about the different podcasts I listened to this week.  I finally got around to listen to the delightful Janet Varney’s podcast with Yvette Nicole Brown.  It was an uplifting episode.  The main point is that you will receive much rejection in life but you have to keep going.

In the up coming weeks I will discussing The Nerdist Way as the philosophical topic of the week.  I started off with the one minuet hug.  I’ll move on to the one thing everyone seems to have trouble keeping track of—time.  I’ll also talk about the importance of metrics.
